- The new Epiphone inspired by Gibson line has officially hit the streets. The delivery man just dropped this guitar off fresh. I know we’ve been dying to get our mids on it and I’m sure you can’t wait to see it so have a look and sound demos are definitely in the future.

The real mother of pearl on the headstock inlays are simply stunning. The changing of colors is very nice to look at. It almost looks like abalone. For me the upgrades on this guitar are big enough to justify its premium price.
Can't wait to pick one of these up during the end of year, overstock sales!!!
Can you really wait that long just for a small discount...?
@@pauljohnson3686Exactly!
Just bought one myself. I got the red cherry color. I’m stoked!
Epiphone, for what they can deliver in terms of quality and US Gibson accessories, is on a whole other level. Simply incredible!
The slowdown really gave me drooling vibes
😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice video. Just got my IGC 1959 ES-355 in Ebony today. My very first semi-hollow body. And it’s fantastic. It’s VOS. But, I prefer gloss. As expected, it’s got those sharp fret ends. Other than that, craftsmanship is flawless. For me, it looks, feels and plays great. It’s got that woody and airy tone. Cheers!
Nice bro and good choice! Hope sharp ends isn’t a big deal for ya. Cheers
@@GuitarLessonSarasota No. They’re not that bad. Not a deal-breaker. Even the VOS finish, I can live with that. But I like the neck’s satin finish. I hope this will not be the first and the last of the IGC line. Thanks!
It looks great. Congrats! But too expensive…
@musicequalslife Whatever you say man… it still feels chinese… the 750$ previous Epi LP custom has also ebony freatboard. The real mother of pearl inlays you can find them for 35$… Epi ( Gibson ), buy in bulk so maybe at their cost is 10$. The custombuckers ok 400$ ( retail price, not for them… their cost might be 150$, but burstbuckers are 280$ at their cost probably 100$ so in the end for them is a +50$ difference ) the open book headstock is so funny thay you guys are so impressed with this… you just change the shape of of the production machine… the machine does not care if it has to give the neck the kalamazoo style or open book, what price increase does that make?… Long neck tenon? Hahaha all the 600$ epiphones have long neck tenon… man open your eyes… actually I regret writing all these words and wasting my time answering some idi**t like you… who has no knowledge or studies about production lines and profitability calculations… what a waste of time. Please waste your money on one of these if it makes you happy, chinese quality, all marketing, and still an Epi… 😉
@@manelalentorn Ok. So how would you price this guitar then based off Epiphone's previous offerings?
The Gibson ES-355 1959 Re-issue is US$6,999. More than 5x of the price of this guitar.
Can’t wait to get one 👍
Same
I am trying to get the cherry version in the UK and nobody has got them and most are on reserve pre ordered status...
My birthday gift this coming July!! I just don’t know if I want the white or red 🤔
Keep in mind these have a satin finish…. To me white makes more sense in satin
how's the playability and feel? can you tell whether the neck and frets also receive any upgraded quality? any improvement from normal es-stlyle epiphones?
You do know you are supposed to get the frets and strings height set up to your liking from a tech, whenever you buy a guitar brand new. Gibson/Epiphone doesn’t know how you like your frets to feel. Everyone has different preferences.
is the bridge supposed to be staggered like that?
edit: looking at other pictures online, apparently the answer is yes, though I am surprised
I believe so bud
The individual saddles for the strings is how the intonation for each string is set. Each saddle has a screw to move it.
🤣 $1,300+tax somebody got Ripped-off 🤪
This guy's voice is Soo annoying 😂😊
